Click "edit wiki" and make sure you have this (or change it to this) in the domain template at the top of the page:
 
<pre> map = <map section="Address"></map> | </pre>
 
Then make sure the address that you want the map to pull from is formatted like this in its own section:
 
<pre>
 
==Address==
 
:107 SE Washington Street
 
:Portland, OR 97214
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Some international addresses don't map automatically and you'll need to experiment a little.  Often simply removing the street address (just having city, state) works.
 
 
 
In addition, there is a technique to change the zoom level shown:
 
 
 
<pre>map = <map zoom="12" section="Address"></map> </pre>

==Forcing google maps to turn off on a page==
 
You can either remove the whole map tag from the domain box OR give it a '''nomap''' tag for section.
 
<pre>map = <map section="nomap"></map> | </pre>

Following the example on John's page, linked above, you will need to insert the correct lat and lon coordinates for your location. I found [http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googleMapLocationv3.php this map], which will pop up your lat and lon. Just put your address in below the map, when you've found your location then copy and paste the info from the boxes on the right of the map.[[User: WillyP| WillyP]] | [[User talk:WillyP|talk]]
